# Azure Storage Blob SDK for Go
[![GoDoc Widget]][GoDoc]

The Microsoft Azure Storage SDK for Go allows you to build applications that takes advantage of Azure's scalable cloud storage.  And, more likely, build applications that require compatability to do so.

This repository contains the open source Blob SDK for Go.

## Features
* Blob Storage
	* Create/List/Delete Containers
	* Create/Read/List/Update/Delete Block Blobs
	* Create/Read/List/Update/Delete Page Blobs
	* Create/Read/List/Update/Delete Append Blobs

## Prereqs:

Go, obviously.

## SDK Architecture

* The Azure Storage SDK for Go provides low-level and high-level APIs.
	* ServiceURL, ContainerURL and BlobURL objects provide the low-level API functionality and map one-to-one to the [Azure Storage Blob REST APIs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/blob-service-rest-api)
	* The high-level APIs provide convenience abstractions such as uploading a large stream to a block blob (using multiple PutBlock requests).

## Code Samples
* [Blob Storage Examples](https://godoc.org/github.com/Azure/azure-storage-blob-go/2016-05-31/azblob#pkg-examples)
